The VersionCompare extension displays a special page, Special:VersionCompare, that compares the MediaWiki, PHP, database, and extension versions of two wikis. It provides two text fields to enter the API URLs of the two wikis to compare. If one of the text fields is left blank, the local wiki will be used as one of the two wikis.
